one is syria, and i'm more worried about syria in terms of middle east than anything. and that is because what we're seeing is everybody says assad wants to to go, but nobody's pushing him off the stage. and the longer he says, the more sectarian the conflict has become, the more it has opened the door to al-qaeda and other terrorist groups. and what you're beginning to see is a sectarian war, sunni versus shia, backed by the saudis and others and iran that is making a sectarian battleground in syria, and it is starting to destabilize lebanon, iraq, jordan and maybe even turkey. and that is bad news. a middle east that is, descends into a sectarian war between sunni and shia is a disaster for all of us. and so i have been arguing for months that the united states needs to do more to hasten assad's departure, that countries in the region like turkey and jordan are begging us to do more. it's not boots on the ground, it's not invading another country. it is trying to help the syrian opposition get organized, be democratic and be inclusive and to give them the wherewithal
